Your Chance to Dive with Eric Cheng and Douglas Seifert!

Ellen was talking about possibly making the meet and greet and if so I might hitch a ride if I still can function properly of course (remember cut me some slack I'm a Fla gal..... )

ATTENTION ALL DIVERS!!!!

 

Here are the details for our upcoming adventure into the crystal clear waters of the Puget Sound that swarm with Giant Pacific Octos and Wolf Eels.

 

Sunday, August 17th

Be at the Delin’s Dock ready to go by 9:00am.

Monday, August 18th

Be at Delin’s Dock Ready to go by 10:00am.

Please note these dives are very tide dependant so it is important you be a little early rather than a little late.

 

Trips average about 6 hours dependant on the divers. So figure we will be back to the dock around 3pm-4pm. For those of you not fimilar with the area it is about a 40-50minute drive from downtown Seattle to the dock, that is given no traffic. Monday it is very likely you will hit traffic both ways. Maybe some of the other local divers can chime in on how long they think it will take to get from downtown Seattle to the dock.

 

 

The Wetpixel Greet and Meet

Date: Sunday the 18th

Time: Will depend when we get off the boat. But giving time for folks to get home, unpack, hopefully shower, let’s say around 7pm.

Place:

Martin & Julie Heyn

3040 11th Ave W

Seattle 98119

The street parking can be tough but two cars can park on the curb in front of our house.

What to Bring: Pretty much just you and any friend, spouse or significant other. We will provide all beverages, adult and otherwise, snacks, buns and condiments. We need a count of how many will attend so we can get an idea of how much stuff we need. Bruce has been kind enough to volunteer to make a run for Burgers and Dogs.

Right now we have:Updated 7/28

As long as everyone is ok with burgers, brauts/hotdogs I think we are ok. If someone wants to bring a dessert or another salad that would be great.

My husband Mike and I would like to go to the meet and greet. I can bring a potatoe salad-we are locals. Pat Gunderson

Great Pat! The more the merrier.

Hi All,

I have gotten a couple of emails about payment. Right now, if everyone shows, the cost is $75.00 per person/day for a two tank trip. You can pay Bandito online or the day of the dive, just let me know so I can make sure everything is covered.

Hey guys. Just a quick note -- unfortunately, Douglas had to pull out of the trip. So it will just be me and Simon.

Count me in on both Sunday and Monday boat dives, and the Sunday BBQ.

Ok another confirmation of how things stand to date. Please correct me if you see anything missing or that does not make sense, I’m no Julie McCoy.

I sent a life-sized cardboard cutout of me to my high school class' 10 year reunion.

It was defaced.

Martin, just FYI, I have paid online for my space on Sunday's charter.

thanks,

Linda

No problem Dan that gets us back to 14 but NO ONE else can cancel . Also I hope everyone checked Bandito's site and is aware you should be bringing your own tanks and weights.

I have paid for both my husband and myself over the internet. Pat Gunderson. question is it 2 dives, so we bring the right number of tanks. thanks

We just talked to Rick and he said that you will need to bring a full tank for each dive (two tanks total).

Any more free spots on either Sunday or Monday? My planned visit to Boston just fell through due to a canceled flight, so now I am free.

I could fill 1 or 2 spots on either day. I dive with Rick and Banditos all the time, and would love to meet the whole crowd here.

Thanks,

Dave

Hey Eric - I'm out of town for the weekend at Mt Ranier but should be back early Sunday afternoon. I'll try to come by the meet and greet to say Hi since I haven't seen you for like 2 1/2 years. Lots has happened since Palau. Safe diving in the sound, hopefully you'll find some of our great octo's and wolf eels to capure. Rick and Banditos are great, I used to use them alot. Have fun out there.

I hope everyone checked Bandito's site and is aware you should be bringing your own tanks and weights.

I'm in Cozumel right now and will be flying back to Portland tomorrow arriving about 7:30 PM at PDX. Thankfully, I already picked up my tanks and weights before I left for Coz

Ellen

Looking forward to seeing everybody - both diving and at the meet & greet! BTW, I just picked up a s#*%load (squidload) of brats and burgers (including veggie, turkey and good ol' cow-flesh) for the meet & greet, so there oughtta be something for everybody!

Is anybody driving up from Portland on Sunday in time for the Meet and Greet and returning on Monday after the dives on the Bandito?

If so, maybe we could drive up together and share expenses.

Ellen

Hi all,

Looking forward to seeing everyone tomorrow! Looks like it will be a hot one, the good news for those coming to the Meet and Greet is we have AC!
